Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

Saving the world from cyber-terrorists in between acts - I can see it.

Right? [She laughs a little.] It's kind of hard for me to imagine it now, but I was a really determined kid.

And you get to use tech and help save the world. [Sliding a hand up his arm, lazily touching him.

[winn]

You should get in my head, I can picture it perfectly, full HD.

[ smiling at the touch. ]

I get to use tech and help Kara when she needs to be sneaky.

[ truth is, with alex and the deo - she doesn't really need him. unless she's trying to hack the deo. which. he still can't quite believe he did. ] Mostly, I use tech to solve basic big office network problems. [ he's so under-used. ]

What do you want to be doing with it? [Because she kind of gets the feeling that's not it. At least not the second part.] Or with anything. Maybe you want to be a fashion designer slash IT specialist. I'm not here to judge.

No, the - costume thing is definitely more of a hobby.

[ the fashion business is way too stressful for him and making serious clothes isn't really what he loves about sewing - it's the superhero costumes, and there aren't enough of those back home to turn it into a business. ]

I donno -- save the world from cyber-terrorists? [ he laughs and shrugs. he's got the skills, he knows he does, but it's like he said...he tends to just stay put. ] I like my job, mostly. But it'd be cool to make more of a difference. [ he wants to be a better man, to follow kara's example - do something good with his life, prove that his choices couldn't be more different than his dad's. ]

[It could be a business here.]

I can understand that. A lot. But also, something you should know, I have no doubt you are making a difference. [She leans in to kiss him softly. He makes a difference to her.]

action;

[winn]

[ she's just so casually sweet to him - he's not really sure how to handle it. he returns the kiss. ]

Probably couldn't pull it off while dancing ballet, though.

[ and that's probably for the best, he's already feeling like he's losing any shred of masculinity whenever he's not kissing kitty. ]

We can't all be perfect. [Do you hear that sound, Winn? That's the sound of a shoe hitting the floor. There's another sound just like it a moment later. And then a socks-only Kitty scoots back and turns to lay down on his bed before gesturing for him to join her.]

action;

[winn]

[ he kicks off his own shoes and is quick to comply, lying next to her, a hand gently tangling in her hair, thumb caressing her cheek. ]

Takes all of the fun outta it for those who are.

[ he's not sure he's ever smiled this much around anyone. he leans in to continue that kiss. ]

[She's still gentle in her kissing. It's not timid, but for someone who chose to sprawl out on his bed it doesn't seem especially leading either. She's just enjoying it for what it is. She does shift her body a little closer and hooks an arm around to rub his back.]
